DEMOCRATS TAKE MOST ASSEMBLIES More Than Half of State Legislatures Go Along With Landslide. BY the Associated Press. Swinging with the tide of Demo- eratic victory, more than half the State Legislatures fell into the Demo- cratic column as votes were counted in this week's election, a survey showed today. At the same time, Republicans re- gained control of some State law-mak- ing machines, which had been in Democratic hands. In at least 28 States, Democratic Governors will be backed up by Dem- ocratic majorities in both houses of the Legislature, the survey showed. In Pennsylvania, the Senate went Democratic for the first time in 65 years, giving Democrats control of the entire law-making machinery. In ©Ohio, Democrats captured control of the House to augment their power in Senate and governorship. In Mich- igan, too, Democrats won new power dn full control of the State govern- ment. Maryland Legislature Democratic. Democratic control of the Maryland Legislature faces the Republican ad- ministration of Gov. Harry W. Nice. The Republicans hold control of both houses in six States, but in Kan- #as and Massachusetts Democratic Governors will rule over them. In Iowa, with a Democratic Gov- ernor, the Republicans shifted the balance of the previously-Democratic Legislature, winning a majority of Senate seats and cutting the Demo- cratic advantage in the House down to a 54-54 tie. In Rhode Island, the Republicans gained Senate control, while the House stayed Democratic. Washington Wayside Tales Random Observations of Interesting Events and Things. NO FISH.

C, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1936 CRIME AGE SHIFT PUZZLES G-MEN Leading Age Group Climbs From 19 Years- to 21. BY REX COLLIFR. The Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion is endeavoring to ascertain the significance of an unexpected upward trend recently in the preponderant age group of law violators in this country. The trend, first noted during the latter half of 1936, has continued steadily through the first nine months of 1936, bringing to 21-year-old of- fenders the dublous distinction of leadership in crime, For many years in the past the 19-year-old group led all others in number of crimes committed. So far this year the 19-year-old offenders stand in fourth place, with a total of 14,328 crimes charged to | them. The 21-year-old violators were given first with 15,247 arrests, the 22-year-olds second with 15,179 ar- rests and the 23-year-olds third with 14,468 arrests. Based on Print Records.

C. From Richmond “Some Time Today.” By the Assoctated Press, RICHMOND, Va, November 7.— Arrested early today after being traced here by telephone calls they had made and telegrams they had sent, Repre- sentative John H. Hoeppel, 56, of Cal- ifornia, and his son, Charles J. Hoep~ pel, 24, were to be returned to Wash- ington “some time today” to face com- mitment to jail on a conviction of conspiring to sell an appointment to ‘West Point for $1,000. ‘They were held incommunicado at the Henrico County Jail pendipg ar- raignment before United States Com- missioner Melvin Flegenheimer here. They were seized at a house which Detective Capt. A. 8. Wright sald was | “on the outskirts” of Richmond, after | & two-day search of local hotels and rooming houses by their bondsman and Charles H. Ward of Washington, a | United States deputy marshal. Capt. Wright said today that Rich- mond police aided in the arrest, but that Justice Department agents had no part in the arrests. The Hoeppels were convicted in District Court at Washington in December for soliciting $1,000 from James W. Ives, 22, of Bal- timore for an appointment to the Military Academy. The arrests were announced early | this morning by Edgar Hoover, head of | the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Hoeppel and his son, released on bail pending their appeal from conviction and sentence of from four months to a | year each, disappeared from Washing- ton. The United States Supreme Court | refused to review their case and a | Nation-wide search for the Repre- | sentative and his son was begun. It was testified at their trial that young Ives was appointed to West Point May 31, 1934, by former Repre- | sentative John Burke of California, | after Hoeppel had given Burke that appointment in exchange for permis- sion to name a candidate to the Naval Academy at Annapolis.

WALKOUT IN NEW YORK, LARGE LIBRARY GIVEN GALLINGER Federation of Churches Makes Presentation of 1,500 Books. A definite hospital need was met when a library of 1,500 volumes, de- nated by the Protestant church wom- en of the District and covering a wide fleld of subjects, both fact and fiction, was presented to Gallinger Hospital yesterday by the Washington Federa- tion of Churches. Miss Elizabeth Whiteford Murray executive director of hospital work for the federation, who eight years ago started her work in gathering library material for hospital patients, has been responsible for the culmination of plans for the Gallinger library. Accompanying the library is a book cart, given by the Protestant churches of the southwest section. Under the supervision of Pauline Davis, who is in charge of volunteer distribution in the ward, the cart will be wheeled around in order that patients may select reading matter. Miss Murray Speaks. Brief presentation services were held. Miss Murray outlined, for the benefit of assembled social service workers, previous work done in con- nection with books for hospital use. She said that she had noticed some years ago the lack of reading matter available for hospital use and had started campaigning for hospital li- braries. In 1931, she said, she had gone to the national conference of social workers in Minneapolis, where she met a woman who had been suc- cessful in library work. After studying her methods, Miss Murray started organization work in Washington. Her first success was at Emergency Hospital, where the Red | Cross now manages the library work. Next, libraries were installed in Gar- field and George Washington Hos- pitals. Library Gets Own Room.

WELCOME FOR PRESIDENT. | Argentine Officials Express Hope He Will Attend Conference. BUENOS AIRES, November 7 (#).— Argentine officials and newspapers asserted yesterday President Roose- velt would be welcomed with open arms if he should visit Buenos Aires next month for the opening of the Inter-American Peace Conference. Although the decision whether he will make the trip had not been an- nounced officially in the United States, took it for granted he would come for the beginning, December 1, of the parley he proposed. and acting Foreign Minister Ramon Castillo expressed hope Mr. Roose- velt would decide to visit Buenos Alres. “The possibility,” President Justo said, “gives me and the Argentine people the deepest pleasure.” this country.” . In diplomatic quarters the opinion was vaiced that a visit by the United States' Executive would further strengthen the Roosevelt “good neigh- bor” policy. Newspapers were unanimous in expressing the view that President Roosevelt's re-election last Tuesday Was extremely gratifying to Latin America. The newspaper, Critica, comment- ing on Mr. Roosevelt’s possible visit, declared: “Few men have such at- tributes as the great American Pres- ident for acting at the- peace con- ference.” “The International policy which he inaugurated with his administration,” the newspaper said, “was something more than a ‘good neighbor’ policy, as he called it. “He destroyed prejudices and recti- fled errors, such as that of the Platt amendment, which were hateful and ie.” (The Platt amenument, which the Roosevelt administration al gave the United States the right to intervene in Cuba.) “He aimed with friendly and fra- of Central and South America. “He placed on a basis of fact the ideals of President Wilson and con- | The. verted Pan-Americanism into a serene relationship distant from all humiliat- man, told the seamen that workers in | other Atlantic and Gulf ports al- | Curran, the Strike Committee chair- | Once the proportions of the Tues- | day landslide became plain, some bureaus undertook to widen the scope iof the plans which they hoped the ! administration and Congress would approve.

The Ilinois Constitution makes holders of bank stock liable to credi- tors for an amount equal to the face value of their stock. The goal of the R. F.

In holding the R. F. C. to be a valid governmental fuction, Judge Wilkere | son said: “The Reconstruction Finance Corp. | was created to give temporary aid to | distressed agricultural and commer- cial institutions and railroads in an effort to stabilze financial conditions, to strengthen the national credit and | currency system and to assist fiscal institutions. * * * That purpose falls within the scqpe of the powers granted to the Congress by the Con- stitution.” The R.

C. would still take a heavy loss on the “Dawes loan.” Directors, he said, estimated it would be “in excess of $10,000,000," quoting a telegram from Jesse Jones, chairman of the Federal agency.
